Bad news for Daniele De Rossi as his team look to face Brighton in Thursday’s Europa League fixture.

The Giallorossi will be looking to secure their progress to the next round of the Europa League after beating Brighton 4-0 in the first leg.

However, to do this De Rossi may have to exclude Romelu Lukaku from his team’s squad list.

According to Sky Sport, Lukaku is not 100% fit and did not take part on group training today as Roma finalized preparations ahead of the trip to England.

The Belgian striker completed a personalized training session and is now doubtful to join his team on Thursday evening.

In his place, Sardar Azmoun is projected to start.
